Books and articles I’ve found useful

Ances-Tree: the journal of the Burwood and District Family History society. Articles by Jenny Paterson on the German emigrant ships: excellently researched, informative, fantastic! You must read these if you have mid-19th century German immigrants to Australia.

Hello
My husband’s family are descendants of Franz Wainard (Rainard) Zoeller and his wife Catharine Beutel who left Dorfprozelton on Peru in 1855. They settled near Toowoomba Queensland Australia and eventually changed their name to Zeller. We have a full family history of this line in Australia, but know little about their Bavarian life. We think Franz father was Peter and his mother Magdalena, but have no information about them and they were both dead at the time of his travel to Australia. Does any one have any information about this line of the Zoeller family in Dorfprozelton, or can you direct me to the best location? Thanks so much. Elizabeth

hi Elizabeth, yes I have some info on this family at the Dorfprozelten end. I believe that Franz was actually Franz Ignaz Zoeller. I know I’ve seen the Wainard/Rainard used but can’t recall where. It will be best if I email you directly with some info on this family. Cheers Pauleen

Dear Pauleen
That is so exciting! I also have seen Franz Ignatz and even Eugnot. It always seems to be the same person, so that is a mystery. I am very grateful for any leads you might be able to snd our way. Happy to share what I know of the family here in Australia.
Regards
Elizabeth

Hi Pauleen,
I wonder if you could give Elizabeth Kendall my email address so that I can make contact with her directly. We are both descended form Franz Zoller and Catherine Beutel.
Best Wishes
